Kidnapped by Princess Changle at the beginning

Page 168

This is the mansion?

This has become a palace, right?

Li Chengqian stammered and said: "If you do this, will you be presumptuous? At that time, the officials of the court will definitely impeach you, not to mention my own official, even the emperor will not be able to protect you."

Chen Chu smiled slightly: "Since I dared to choose this place, it is naturally justified. Please rest assured, Your Highness, I know the seriousness. Those officials want to mess with me, and they are still a little tender... Besides, it was the emperor who promised me at the beginning. As long as I am willing, I can choose as much land as I want, and the emperor's golden words, how can I change it just as I say. This matter is so decided..."

Now that Chen Chu decided, Li Chengqian couldn't say anything more.

Chen Chu beckoned, asked Cheng Chubi to come up, and ordered: "Chubi, call our people here immediately, first get the land deed and documents from Jingzhao Mansion, and then enclose the entire surrounding area according to the boundaries of the land deed and documents. , from now on, this land belongs to me, Chen Chu, without my permission, no one is qualified to enter it..."

This is a piece of land covering hundreds of acres.

Others only know that this is a barren land, which is full of swamps and belongs to an abandoned site.

But Chen Chu knew that after several decades, the famous Emperor Li Longji would build the famous Xingqing Palace here.

Now, this is a piece of virgin land, snatched by Chen Chu in advance.

The task of the system is to build a huge mansion that will shock everyone in the world. It is the most suitable place to choose.

Chen Chu intends to include the lakes in it to create an unprecedented super-large mansion, so that the natives of the Tang Dynasty can see what is a real luxury residence, what is a lake-view room, and what is the most comfortable living environment .

……

Chapter 190

early morning.

With his hands behind his back, Liu Jianren hummed a ditty in joy, and staggered into the gate of Jingzhao Mansion.

He is in a good mood.

A subordinate came over and asked curiously: "My lord, is there a magpie here today? Why are you so happy?"

Liu Jianren said: "There is no magpie coming to the door, and no concubine. I just send away that plague god Chen Chu, so I feel naturally happy."

He was tortured by Chen Chu yesterday to the point where he had a psychological shadow.

Then, Liu Jianren asked again: "Have all the land deeds and documents for Chen Chu been sent to Duke Lu's mansion?"

The subordinate nodded and said, "My lord, the land deed and paperwork have been delivered according to your instructions. It's just a pity for the 500 mu of land."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Jianren grabbed his subordinate by the collar in excitement, and asked viciously, "You, you... how much did you say?"

The subordinate looked confused: "My lord, how much is it?"

Liu Jianren shouted excitedly: "How many acres?"

The subordinate said: "Master, more than 500 acres."

puff.

Liu Jianren was so frightened that he fell to the ground, panting heavily, and kept shouting, "It's over, it's over..."

The subordinate didn't know why, so he asked, "My lord, what's the end?"

Liu Jianren slammed his fist on the slate floor, feeling like he was in imminent disaster: "You idiot, the majestic imperial palace only covers an area of ​​more than 5000 mu, and the Tai Chi Palace only covers an area of ​​more than 3000 mu, while the mansion built by Chen Chu covers an area of ​​more than 500 mu. Under the heavens, even the prince dares not build such a big mansion... In the future, His Majesty will blame him, how can I explain it?"

The subordinates were dumbfounded.

Liu Jianren got up, ran out in a hurry, and shouted: "Prepare the horse, hurry up, and send me into the palace."

Liu Jianren entered the palace in a panic and came to Ganlu Hall.

As soon as he saw Li Er, he fell to his knees with a puff, crawled down, and cried loudly, "Your Majesty, I was deceived by Chen Chu."

Li Er raised his head and asked, "Liu Aiqing, tell me, how did Chen Chu deceive you?"

The villain Liu Jianren complained first and said: "Your Majesty, yesterday Chen Chu took His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness King Jin to threaten the minister, and the minister had no choice but to allocate a piece of land for Chen Chu to build a mansion."

Li Er wondered: "I told you to do this matter, why are you acting like this?"

Liu Jianren wanted to cry but said without tears: "Your Majesty does not know that the land that Chen Chu wants to go to has a total of five hundred acres."

Five hundred acres?

Li Er's eyes widened.

Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others on the side were even more stunned.

This is a madman!

It is necessary to build [-] acres of land.

If it were someone else, I'm afraid there would be suspicion of rebellion.

Everyone was surprised.

Li Er smacked his lips and was about to speak when he saw Changsun Wuji stand up and said, "Your Majesty, I think this matter is all right. Back then, His Majesty promised Chen Chu that he could choose a piece of land in Chang'an City to build a mansion, and also promised Yue The bigger the better, it is reasonable for Chen Chu to choose such a piece of land now."

Li Er struggled: "But..."

Changsun Wuji looked at Liu Jianren, and reprimanded him: "Lord Liu, His Majesty has already spared you, so you should leave quickly."

Liu Jianren yelled words like His Majesty Shengming, and then ran away like shit.

Li Er and other ministers looked at Changsun Wuji with puzzled expressions.

Changsun Wuji explained: "Your Majesty, we asked Chen Chu to build the mansion to deliberately make things difficult for him and delay his marriage to the eldest princess. Now, Chen Chu was so greedy that he chose [-] mu of land. Since this is the case, Your Majesty should Remind him that the [-] mu of land must be fully built. In this way, it may be difficult to complete the construction in ten years. At that time, Chen Chu knows that he is wrong, and will definitely come to ask His Majesty obediently, and His Majesty will make conditions with him , let him be a down-to-earth person, stop being arrogant and domineering, so, are you afraid that you won't be able to control him?"

Yup!

Everyone suddenly realized.

All eyes shine.

Fang Xuanling said: "Master Changsun is right. From now on, we can wait for Chen Chu to retreat and go to the palace to ask His Majesty to plead guilty."

Wang Gui exclaimed, "Chen Chu is in a cocoon."

Instead of blaming Liu Jianren, everyone thought that Liu Jianren had done a great deed.

Li Er was in a good mood when he heard this, and ordered: "Gao Chen, you go there yourself, bring my oral order to Chen Chu, and tell him that since he chose the five hundred acres of land, he should take the five hundred acres of land well. When it is built, there must be no waste in the slightest, otherwise, I will not spare him."

……

……

Gao Chen said expressionlessly: "Tell him, since he chose the [-] mu of land... Otherwise, I will not spare him."

Then, he became more amiable, and said with a smile: "Young Master Chen, the above are His Majesty's oral instructions, have you heard them all?"

Chen Chu nodded and said, "I heard it."

Chen Chu said nothing.

Neither surprised nor sad.

On the contrary, Cheng Yaojin, who was beside him, grabbed Gao Chen's hand excitedly: "You are not mistaken, are you? Five hundred acres of land will be built, and it will be the year of the monkey!"

Gao Chen took two steps back with some fear, and said: "Duke Lu, please be safe and don't be impatient, this is His Majesty's oral order, even if I have the courage, I dare not change His Majesty's oral order."

Cheng Yaojin wanted to press him, but Chen Chu waved his hand.

So he let go of Gao Chen.

Gao Chen fled in despair.

The demon king of the world has a great reputation, and he will beat people if he disagrees with him. It's better to stay away.

When Gao Chen left, Cheng Yaojin looked at Chen Chu in puzzlement, and said, "Fifth Brother, we have been tricked by someone, this must not be His Majesty's idea, maybe it was the bad idea of ​​that old fairy Changsun Wuji, let's go!" , the two of us will enter the palace right now, and beat up the old goblin, Your Majesty, please take it back."

Cheng Yaojin was anxious.

However, Chen Chu smiled calmly, waved his hands, and said, "Fourth brother, it's okay, what my father asked me to do is exactly what I will do, why should I go to the palace with great fanfare to find him? Back then, I was worried that my father thought the land was too big and would take it back, but now it seems that I was worrying too much..."

Cheng Yaojin was surprised: "You really want to build a mansion with an area of ​​[-] mu?"

Chen Chu nodded.

He's almost done drawing the blueprints.

Cheng Yaojin said: "However, those officials will impeach you. They will say that your mansion is bigger than the mansion of the important officials in the court, bigger than the mansion of the prince, and you may be suspected of rebellion."

Chen Chu said confidently: "I have my own plan for this matter, you don't have to worry, fourth brother, now, I only need you to do one thing for me."

"What's the matter?"

Chen Chu said: "Now that the New Year is approaching, there are very few craftsmen in Chang'an City. I am eager to build the mansion. I need a lot of craftsmen. I am afraid that the fourth brother will come forward and help me find a group of craftsmen."

Cheng Yaojin asked, "How many people are needed?"

Chen Chu said: "There is no limit to the number of people, the more the better, I am not short of money!"

As a handsome young man with millions of dollars, Chen Chu still had confidence when he said this.

……

(Thanks to [tay & new] brothers for their rewards, and thanks to the big guys for their support.)

Chapter 191 Everyone Scolds Cheng Yaojin

West of Chang'an City.

The site of a house under construction.

A fat middle-aged man looked at the empty scene and asked in a growl, "Where are the people? Where are those craftsmen? Do they still want to eat? It's already high in the sun, and there is no one to be seen." "

This person is a merchant. He has summoned a large number of craftsmen to build a house for himself since last year. Seeing that the house is about to be built, he can move in and live in it after the spring, so he is very harsh on the craftsmen. Build at night.

However, it was almost noon today, and the craftsman hadn't been seen yet.

The merchant was furious: "It's unreasonable. They deducted all their salaries without leaving a penny. From today, the food provided will be reduced from two meals to one meal."

Next to it, a man ran over and said, "Master, I heard about it. Our craftsmen have all run away and went to work near the Chunming Gate."

Ok?

Merchants frowned: "It's unreasonable, they dare to go to work for others, a group of sluts, hurry up, gather people, and arrest all these people, a group of lowly craftsmen, it's the worst."

The man said helplessly: "Master, I'm afraid we can't do anything to them. They were taken away by Duke Lu's mansion."

"Lu Guogong's mansion? General Lu Guogong?" the merchant asked.

The man nodded.

The merchants immediately died down.

He is just a merchant, he is not even regarded as a head and face in Chang'an City, anyone from Marquis Wu's shop can take care of him, let alone Cheng Yaojin.

The prestige of the Demon King in Confusion is not for nothing.

He waved his hands sadly, and said, "Forget it, since Duke Lu's mansion wants people to leave, don't mention this matter again, you should hurry up and gather a group of craftsmen."

The man shook his head: "Master, the craftsmen in Chang'an City, including many places under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Mansion, have all been recruited by Lu Guogong's Mansion."

"What?" The merchant's eyes widened, "Is Duke Lu's mansion crazy? Why do they want so many people, and they don't want to build a palace for His Majesty? Besides, are those craftsmen stupid? Why are they willing to work for Duke Lu's mansion? In this way, you Raise our wages by half, and those craftsmen will definitely come back on their own initiative."

There is nothing in the world that money cannot solve.

The man shook his head: "Master, Duke Lu's Mansion gives each craftsman a minimum of [-] Wen a day, and also provides three meals, and eats meat at least once a day..."

When the merchant heard this, he smacked his lips and stopped talking. His mood was very complicated.

After a while, he cursed: "Hey, Duke Lu's mansion will be punished by heaven for doing this..."

High wages.

three meals.

And meat to eat!

It is conceivable that the current craftsmen have been spoiled by Duke Lu's mansion.

In the future, if everyone can't afford this price, they won't even think about recruiting craftsmen.

While the merchants were scolding Duke Lu's mansion, many big households were also scolding Cheng Yaojin.

"Bah, the devil incarnate doesn't follow the rules!"

"It's abominable!"

"How can you recruit those lowly craftsmen at a low price in the future!"
